dudeeeeeeeeeeeeeee just use the top as the plate b ween the water and the dirt,u r wasting a whole bucket,r u guys smoking the weed u r growing in the bucket?

Letting water run out of the bucket is actually washing away the nutrients in the soil ?

Great video! I'd like to replicate this method but I'm having a difficult time finding a potting mix with sphagnum peat as the main ingredient. All of the big box stores sell mixes which use a majority of decomposed forest matter as the primary medium. I'm not really looking to spend alot of money on ProMix BX or the like. Is there anything I can use that would only cost about $10? Maybe using something like store bought potting mix combined with bark fines.

Thank you so much for the easy to follow step-by-step directions. Can't wait to make mine.

Inspirational video. One of the main problems that I and friends discovered with bucket culture is that they get very soon dry. You need to water hem everyday (tomato), This is an excellent way to fix this issue. For economical and ecological reason (transition, permanent agriculture) I am huge fan of this.

How long does it take when the bucket is dry (5 days ?). Can you see there remains enough water in it ?

Wow, you guys have done a great job with these videos! Kind of wish I had seen them this past winter, I would already have built some :D thx for your efforts.

Great Video! I have had Excellent results with my bucket garden. I planted my Tomatoes in early April, now early June I have healthy big plants covered with Tomatoes and blooms. When people come over and see our tomateo' s they cant believe there eyes....

Why bother with "organic" fertilizer when your potting soil isn't "organic."

[wifiwaves]

@tuvoca Organics are typically slow-release and less likely to burn the plant.

Help! I cut a hole 3 1/2" in my bucket.  The plastic cup I'm using (which looks identical to your) is too small for the 3 1/2" hole. There's space between the hole and the cup.

[berniegermie]

how much dolomite do you mix into the soil? It's not clear on your website. By the way, I think this info. is great! I'm going to try this this year.

Technically, how long with a typical plant would that much water in the reservoir take before needing a proper fill?

I might of missed it, but do you have or think a way to see the water level from outside is good?

[HomeworkHelper1]

Different plants require different amounts of water, plants such as herbs require very little, plants such as carrots, potatoes, and other root vegetables require a little more, some fruiting fruits and vegetables, like tomatoes, peppers, beans, and peas, require a little more, and cucurbits such as, cucumbers, pumpkins, watermelons, gourds, zucchini, squash, and gourds, require a lot.

[GlobalBuckets]

No, that's a great idea. What we meant was that using a liquid fertilizer applied from the TOP would not work well in our opinion.

[jsebjj]

great videos guys...you are making a difference

Question: what is the problem with liquid fertilizer? I was thinking of adding liquid organic nutrients in with my water. wouldnt it wick up and feed the plants?

Thanks again
